Focus 20 meg: check yours!

[cornelio@crl.com (Louis Cornelio)]

Owners of a focus 20 meg card with the Conner hard drive --older "large"
size, not the little ones that Alltech is shipping now -- should check
their drives. I don't know fif other sizes are affected, but I had 2 of
mine go bad within days of each other. It seems the seal may be faulty ---
it turns to goo! There was no warning, and when it goes bad, you lose
everything on the drive.

I never knew till the drive went bad and, when I pulled it, there was
gooey stuff on the bottom of the drive. The good news is that Alltech
replaced the drives at no cost.  You may want to keep an eye on yours, and
if there is is problem with it, talk to Tony at Alltech.
